Bunnings trip? Lounge suite? A person? No problem. A politician has sparked a surprising online trend after questioning whether people could actually shop by bike.
Just as many not-on-public-transport families, in North America, have both a tiny get-around vehicle and a minivan, for loading everybody-and-everything into,
having a light riding-for-the-joy-of-riding bike & a heavier “truck” bike does make sense, for many.
( do have a pair of locks for the truck-bike, so you can lock both ends of it, though. )
I hope rentable cargo bikes show up in my city soon. I can’t justify spending the money on a bike I’ll only occasionally use. Currently I’ll rent a car instead but there are plenty of times when a cargo bike would work fine
I’m working on repairing a truck-trike, that was gifted to me when a friend was clearing out “junk”. In it’s original form it’s designed to carry up to 500 pounds. We’ll see how that all works out this Summer. ;-)
Cargo-bikes exist.
With reason.

I went by I want a lock more expensive than my bike but that does not hold up so well to e-bikes :)
